Having problems with your Gateway MT3705 Notebook ?

My computer goes into hybernation any time i close the screen and leave it for more then 45 min but if i leave the screen open and the screen goes black it doesnt shut off

Answers :

Hi there, I would like to answer some of your question. \015\012\015\012First is with regards on hibernation. Are you referring to folding of the laptop display by saying "I close the screen"? If yes, the explanation is that your PC is assuming that you are no longer using him (the PC) that's why he decided to shut himself down including the display. This is in order for him to conserve his battery charge. Hibernation is a feature of the OS where the contents of RAM are written to non-volatile storage\015\012such as a hard disk, as a file or on a separate partition, before powering off\015\012the computer. When the computer is restarted it reloads the content of memory\015\012and is restored to the state it was in when hibernation was invoked.\015\012\015\012The situation you are describing on your BUT statement is refer to as Sleep of Standby Mode. In this mode the PC just shut the non critical components like the display. Unlike in Hibernation, PC retains the current data in RAM while shutting down its peripherals.\015\012\015\012Both Hibernate and Sleep Mode are features of PC to save energy. On all the components of the PC display consumes the highest percentage of energy. This explains why there had been many technologies that attempted to improve display energy consumption. I'm describing the CRT to Plasma to LCD to LED evolution.\015\012\015\012I hope was able to answer your question.\015\012\015\012Thanks,\015\012lucgalman

Because your computer go to standby and cannot do more, you can set standby mode disable and try again...
